definition of

eclectic 1.Unrelated and unspecialized. 2.Crossing a range or mixture of specialties. Selecting a mixture of what appear to be best of various doctrines, methods, or styles. Eclecticism is a kind of mixed style in the fine arts: "the borrowing of a variety of styles from different sources and combining them" (Hume 2003, p.5). Significantly, Eclecticism hardly ever constituted a specific style in art: it is characterized by the fact that it was not a particular style. In general, the term describes the combination in a single work of a variety of influences — mainly of elements from different historical styles in architecture, painting, and the graphic and decorative arts. wikipedia

"Style" is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style.” John Fairchild

“Fashions fade, style is eternal.” Yves Saint Laurent

“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.” Gore Vidal

Ok, this is a bit weird.... I've lured my husband into posting his views on design and interiors from time to time on my blog, under the pseudonym The Husband. I'm yet not sure how this will turn out, but I know he is in the progress of preparing his first post for you...

I have, over a period of time, noticed how few men there are blogging about design and interiors. I love our predominantly female blog community, but I think it would be refreshing to see things from a male perspective. My husband is a typical man's man, and macho by default (Definition 2) but still he definitly has his say, and takes interest in the interior of our house. Other than that I'm not quite sure about his views on design, as this is not a common topic in our house, so this is quite interesting, and also a bit nerve wrecking for me ;-)
